Peaceful Journey
🚶♂️🙏💭 Quietly a year and twelve months passed, finding peace to truly be human at last. Wandering for thirty-six thousand days, reaching the realm where life’s pulses sway. Though others may chuckle, finding me bemused, I stand, unshaken, in folly, amused. // Thong thả một năm mười hai tháng, gặp thời bình trị được làm […]

Ngawa Tibetan And Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Day 8: Langmusi And Tibetan Sky Burial Site
[Tiếng Việt ở phần dưới] Langmusi was very dusty even in the early morning because janitors in their full workwear with masks and long gloves sweeping everywhere. I could only see their eyes and their beautiful feather brooms. I started for what I thought the Sichuan side of the town, but couldn’t find the Hui […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 4: Fenghuang Old Town And Changde
What I feared the most was the weather as forecast. It rained in the morning again today, and my exploration of Fenghuang Old Town was disrupted somehow. Because I wore the Thai flip flop, I walked slowly and slipped when I got off a boat. I borrowed an umbrella because my jacket wasn’t completely waterproof. […]

Unexpected Blossoms
